Inc CIRCUS Is great attractlon-ludg-
ing by the way it draws.
Judge William Henry Harrison
Learned, ex-postmaster, went up Sound
yesterday.
Friends of Judge VIM. Korter have
heard from him, and he says he is im-
proving in health.
There will be services at the NJ. E.
church this evening at 7:30, conducted
by Rev. q. s. Mason. The young people
are particularly requested to sttend.
The ball at the military fort last night
was grand success and every one go
fortunate as to be present was charmed
with the pleasant Entertainment OF the
whole-souled hosts.
The action of the NJ. 4. Conference
on our University matters, this week at
Olympia, will be awaited with some in-
terest by Port Tow nsend. We ought to
hear by Friday at the latest.
The steam tugs on Puget Sound are
kept very busy these days. They are
not all on duty, however; the Masiick
is having a new condenser made, and
the Tyee is to go to San Francisco soon
for repairs.
The family of Mr.. Caleb r. Bill ar
rived here yesterday from the east and
have added to our population and made
the heart of one of on: most respected
citizens very glad. The ARGUS bids
them welcome.
DR.. Van Aukin is having more work
than he can attend to. His dental rooms
at the Central are thronged with parties
who desire to get rid of bad teeth and
be furnished with nice set. His pain
less process of extraction draws them all.
Mr.. VIM. McCurdy has commenced
dwelling house for Mrs. Webster on JEFF
ferson street, between her residence and
the photograph gallery. 1t will be quite
an improvement to that part of the city,
as it viii be very conspicuous from the
bay.
BURGLARS Flora D. Brown in
forms US that burglars attempted to
break into her premises last night, and
tried to force three different locks. There
are lot OF loose knaves in this town
who deserve summary punishment, and
We caution them that they may run foul
OF something harder than their heads in
some of their attempts.
A New INDUSTRY Friday even
ing, at the city council meeting, the Port
Admiral presented himself with bucket
containing three or four quarts OF dead
flies which he said he had killed in his
house, and that all were hatched in an
adjoining stable, which he denounced as
q nuisance and asked to have il abated.
The Admiral made an impressive speech
which entranced the council with pro-
found admiration. AT length one Of the
modest spoken city fathers suggested
that the Admiral could find a more
lucrative business than killing flies,
which remark exasperated the son OF
Neptune, and seizing his trident, or
rather his kettle. of flies, he hOisted his
jib and left. We think the Admiral is a
public beneiactor, and if hs can kill a
bucket Of Aies every week till frost comes
he will clean out the town from au intol-
erable nuisance. Lei the Admiral be
encouraged.
PERSONAL---VERY.. G. B. Crawford. late
rector OF st. Pauls Episcopal church,
left this morning for Spokane Falls,
where he takes charge of the church at
that place. During Mr.. Crawiord's re-
sidence here he has been eminently sue
cessful among the young men and
women in encouraging social intercourse
and induced many to become interested
in religious matters, which he las pre-
sented in a very attractive form, and
many havs Joined the church during his
rectosship, and the church is numerical
ly and financially in better condition
than ever before. 1t is to be Eoped that
the vestry of st. PauPs church may be
able to secure the services of successor
to Mr.. Crawford who will do as much
good to the young people, as well rs the
church at large, as he has done. Mr..
Crawford leaves with the regrets OF the
entire congregation of st. PauIs church,
as well as their kind wishes for his fu-
ture welfare.
